dream_weasel,

It would make me more inclined to buy it actually.

What's a decently fancy coffee that's still affordable and will be well received even by non-coffee snobs?

I have been making the occasional coworker a cup of aeropressed coffee with good reviews thus far. Being that it is shift work, most of my coworkers are used to drinking the reduced syrup of a pot that’s been left on the burner too long (one coworker thanked me for leaving it for her!). Many don’t even know coffee doesn’t...

dream_weasel,

I’m gonna try it with the whole bean and see what happens. Thanks for the rec!

dream_weasel,

Yeah to me though it was self derivative. It’s not high cinema sure, but I watched episode 4, you don’t have to repeat it with celebrity cameos and better CGI.

dream_weasel,

100%

dream_weasel,

I couldn’t even get halfway through the second one. The first is good, but I liked Dances with Wolves too.

dream_weasel,

Donnie Darko is such trash I would up vote this twice.

dream_weasel,

Just because there is no central authority does not mean there is no general consensus. English classes from elementary school to university aren’t accidentally in line with each other by some weird coincidence.

Descriptivism has a place in the evolution of language, but not in a wholesale “everything native speakers might say is grammatically correct if they are understood”.

dream_weasel,

Lien** and for the person you replied to

dream_weasel,

I’d who TF that is. Looks like Reanu Keeves to me.

dream_weasel,

Chess. Reading.

dream_weasel,

I’m wet and sitting on the tile floor. I’m cold :(

dream_weasel,

Don’t fuck your sister!

dream_weasel,

And write down every word you don’t know.

I have an anki card deck of all those words and I’ve greatly expanded my vocab doing that for 1 minute every morning while I have coffee.

dream_weasel,

Serious small dick energy bro.

dream_weasel,

Seems redundant

dream_weasel,

“phobic comments”

Ok bro. I’m dumbphobic and triggered by this pessimistic and super over-generalized hot take.

This is offensively exceptionalist.

dream_weasel,

I believe in you!

dream_weasel,

Is it difficult to live every day with a mental illness?

dream_weasel,

Thank you for your post. I now know to just block blahaj

dream_weasel,

It sure is.

dream_weasel,

That’s the way I would have done it. Pretty intuitive.

dream_weasel,

I think punctilious might be a better fit (or perhaps even officious)

dream_weasel,

Ladies are same

dream_weasel,

The community on Lemmy seems less about minimalism for the sake of being minimal and more about ethics, minimal pedantry (“should we stop taking pictures because they create clutter?”), and being cheap/frugal.

Did you have a different community or resource in mind? I’m interested, but only with respect to my stuff, and in a more “buy it for life” way.

dream_weasel,

Sounding.

dream_weasel,

Right. Insert with PLENTY of lube, then break it.

dream_weasel,

Add ani.social too IMO.

dream_weasel,

Fewer**

But I can talk gooder.

dream_weasel,

Tell me about antarctic owls.

dream_weasel,

Your phone auto correct has a preference as well it seems.

I mean sure, linguistic descriptivism is relevant for the evolution of language. However, why study language at all if that’s the sum-total of your perspective on language? We could all just speak however we want as long as we are understood… except then we end up with an uncountable number of dialects and creoles a la mainland china. This is also how you end up with linguistic rules that are basically impossible to teach I suspect.

Just my 2 cents.

dream_weasel,

Speaking is sort of a different animal. “Should of” is a malapropism that is a homophone for “should’ve”. There is no transformation of language from that, it’s just an error. If you accept an alternate written version though, you’re creating an alternate conjugation for the conditional perfect tense. There’s no reason for this at all: it’s accommodating failings of literacy by adding complexity to language rules for one, and creating a new (and faulty) evolution point for two.

It’s like saying “oh, the speed limit is 55, but everyone drives 60, so let’s make the law so the police can’t ticket you unless you go over 60 since 55 or 60 is correct”. What does it mean when you see a sign that says 25 now? You can accept that people break the rules, but that doesn’t mean we should change the rules to describe the situation in every circumstance.

dream_weasel,

I mean, sort of, I guess. I also read “Frindle” in school.

There is nothing wrong with a descriptive approach to spoken language, but what I see you arguing is that written language should be treated the same way. This increases complexity in written language for no reason other than to protect mistakes in literacy.

There’s real value in preserving spelling (it often contains etymologically relevant information to the current or past meaning of the word) and also grammatical structure. If the sound of two samples is indistinguishable, why make it harder to teach or to infer meaning from by accepting spurious representations as correct?

When you write it down, you gotta follow the rules, yo.

dream_weasel,

Alrighty so… I think you’re full of shit.

What you say is true for passed down spoken language because errors like the ones we are talking about are transparent. Once you can write it down, the rules are evident and persistent. Nobody has to own them to say that as we transcribe language X these are the rules for conjugation, pluralization, etc. you can break them if you want, but as you say nobody owns the language: you need not be accommodated in your mistakes. Spoken language can change and the rules can follow, but being shit at writing (even if lots of people have the same problem) isn’t something written language must accommodate.

dream_weasel,

Giant floppy titties arent sexually arousing (unless you’re desperate)

dream_weasel,

I hope this is not an exemplar of her poetry… I don’t find it to be very good in really any of the ways that poetry CAN be good in my experience.

Unless the only category is “famous” in which case she is definitely winning.

dream_weasel,

But why though? The meter isn’t great and neither are the rhymes. Hope does not liyerally have feathers and there is no deeper allegory. Also there is nothing about crumbs or idioms related to crumbs that give good closure. Not to mention that all the weather references are vapid and empty

She is famous, and yet this poem is a trash pile. Can I do better? You know what probably yes.

dream_weasel,

Is revanced annoying to build? I’ve been putting it off for that reason since AFAIK there is no manager for it

dream_weasel,

Looks good! Also sorta looks like you’re built like s dwarf so next year I’ve got an ambitious printing suggestion ;)

dream_weasel,

Thorin Fucking Oakenshield. Would be boss AF

dream_weasel,

:!killall vim

dream_weasel,

If you’re west of the Mississippi river, you’re the West. Straight up.

dream_weasel,

Eh, most of them kinda suck anyway…

dream_weasel,

Maybe specify a different diff algorithm? Histogram for example?

dream_weasel,

I have wondered this as well. I do find that sometimes I DO prefer to be able to see image thumbnails, but that’s about all I see.

There’s some good stuff out there, but zsh for me is plenty feature rich to do the job.

dream_weasel,

Why does everything have to be about race?!

dream_weasel,

What kind of life do you live that you’re watching privacy YouTube channels? Peer tube maybe I guess makes sense but you might be barking up the wrong tree.

Also… idk how you legit watch Luke Smith after listening to him idolize the Unabomber and bitch about roads.

dream_weasel,

Maybe we could compromise and put landmines in Lindsey Graham’s backyard?

dream_weasel,

Vim. viiiiiiiiim
